Swimming in Pine Lake (Revisited)
I got up this morning at 6:30am, put on my speedo, a robe, and some sandals, grabbed my goggles and a towel, then drove over to Pine Lake Park for a swim in the lake. I noted that during the drive around the lake to the park that the car registered the ambient air temperature at right around 65°F. Even if it was a bit chilly up on the dock, the water felt about 10° warmer and was perfectly suitable for a good swim. I estimated I swam about 1000-1200 yards in about 20-25 minutes. I was back at home by 7:15am. Not bad.

Blogroll: The Improvist by Dan Brian
If you have paid attention to my blogroll, you will have noted that Dan Brian's blog, The Improvist, has been there since the beginning. Dan is a friend, and so all of his posts (including the ones about his life, his kids, and his music) are interesting to me... your mileage may vary (of course).

I know Dan through work (NTT/Verio). If I recall correctly, he started in about 1999 or 2000... I didn't work with him until later, when he became my immediate supervisor (2001?). We now work on the same software development team as associate colleagues. Dan is quite an adept programmer. I have worked with (and currently still work with) many of what I consider to be great programmers, but Dan clearly stands out. Not only does he have tremendous ability to conceptualize new products and software, but he has the tremendous skill and ability to implement his vision.

Nonetheless, if you don't know Dan, you may find his technical and political insights on his blog to be intriguing. And so, for my benefit and possibly yours, I've included the link to Dan's blog on my blogroll.

Enjoy.
